Alocasia Frydek

The Alocasia frydek is a stunning variety that displays velvety dark green leaves with stark white veining. It has grown in popularity throughout the years and is now commonly grown indoors as a houseplant, although it can also be grown outdoors in certain climates. As with most types of Alocasia, keeping the Frydek happy can be a bit tricky, but its soft and stunning foliage makes the challenge oh-so-worth-it.

One of the most important aspects of caring for this plant is ensuring that it gets enough moisture. These tropical aroids enjoy regular watering, high humidity, and will suffer in dry environments and prolonged periods of drought. 

This Alocasia does best in bright, indirect light when grown indoors and partial shade when grown outdoors. Ensure that it is not exposed to prolonged periods of direct sun as that will burn its velvety leaves. In front of a north-or east-facing window is a perfect spot.

Pet owners beware, the Alocasia Frydek, like all plants in its genus, is considered toxic to cats, dogs,
